Just did a search, and found an online article from the Aug 28 Worcester Telegram and Gazette that states the Foxboro Bass Pro should be opening on Nov 15, preceded by the opening of Cabela's new store in East Hartford, CT on Oct 19....guess the big boys finally figured there's a market here, based on the number of online/phone orders they get from the NE area....

I heard Oct 19 on Cabela's in EH as well. We are getting a Cabela's in Maine which I hear is opening in spring of 2008. We've also heard rumor of a Gander Mtn. Hooksett, NH is also getting a Cabela's which will be nice for tax-free purchases.
